With Ito being at a career-high world ranking of No. 3 and Mizutani being No. 15, the Indians cannot afford to make any mistake against the much-fancied pair. In men's doubles, Sharath Kamal and Sathiyan have a relatively easier path as they take on Hungary's World No. 132 Szudi and World No. 142 Nandor Ecseki next. In other results, Harmeet Desai and Manav Vikash Thakkar went down fighting 11-13, 8-11, 13-11, 11-6, 2-11 to Hong Kong's Hang Siu Lam and Nam Pak NG.
